v1.4.4 does NOT work in XP. These guys made the same mistake that Sleipnir and Maxthon both made for YEARS - advertise XP long after no longer working in XP.

I don't have any experience with LTSC 1809. My Win10's are 2016 LTSB 1607 (there was also a 2015 LTSB 1507). Had to pull teeth with Corporate to get this edition.

This is a GIGANTIC leap FORWARD in my view. LESS is MORE. It takes me hours upon hours spanning several weeks to REMOVE all of the "features" that is 'included'. Below is my Win10 start menu once I've removed all of the crap, my "baseline" operating system for a couple company laptops. That's EVERYTHING (as far as the operating system goes, everything else is ran from a local "cloud"). I don't just remove the "features" from the menu, they're completely uninstalled and blocked from installing themselves. Took several "permission slips" from Corporate IT because our "Local IT" department keeps BS like XBOX and gaming "features" and "apps" and "solitaire" and a bunch of useless s#!t for a COMPANY COMPUTER. "Local IT" prefers to just redirect things like Xbox and solitaire, even a weather and map app that came on these laptops, with a big popup, "You do not have permission to run this app". I take a different approach, I don't want the crap cluttering my start menu!

I submit that some will disagree with "change" for no other reason than it is "change". I googled (had to Google that out of curiosity, the "past tense verb" is not supposed to be capitalized) for XP Browser and MSFN.org shows up on Page 1 of the results. I googled for Vista Browser and MSFN.org shows up on Page 2 of the results. These will promote higher on the results pages because of how Google's algorithm works. The more ACTIVE these threads become the HIGHER they rank in ANY search engine list of results, not just Google, at least that's how I understand search engine algorithms. The web browsers discussed here are not really limited to XP. There is a large number of active users in the XP threads that don't even run XP.

No clue what "Moebius" is outside of this -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip

Definite irony. Dropbox does work fine from BNavigator.

If we can at least FIND an XP version, and if it proves as a worthwhile candidate, I could MAKE it into a Portable.

I am assuming that none of those work in XP. Is that a correct assumption?

That doesn't get us to an actual download link - have you been able to find an actual download for CatsXP that will run on XP?

For those following the http://www.speed-battle.com/speedtest_e.php test results - I found the "security" setting that drops ALL of my Mozilla-based browsers to UNGODLY LOW scores. For "security", I disable IonMonkey just-in-time compiler because this Mozilla-based vulnerability is listed on various security exploits lists over and over and over. It gets patched one week to be exploited the next. So I disable IonMonkey JIT with this about:config setting -- javascript.options.ion -> false (default setting is true). For reference -- BNav scores with this set to true -- 1415.32 1412.07 1408.19 BNav scores with this set to false -- 156.12 153.80 159.93 (despite the massive hit to performance, I still prefer IonMonkey JIT to be disabled (ie, set to false))

I had to grab a calculator just for curiosity. Firstly, HOLY CRAP, a postage stamp is 58 cents? When did that happen? I could have sworn we were only at 42 cents! So that postage stamp adds 3.6% to my $15.98 water bill. Just seems wasteful to me

I'm not a fan of paying that 1%. I avoid using postage stamps. I bought two booklets of the "Forever Stamp" in 2008/2009 (right around there because I bought this house in 2007). A booklet is 20 stamps so I bought 40. We are closing in on 2022 and I still have 26 of those 40 "Forever Stamps". I personally and sincerely hope that there comes a day when the US Post Office delivers mail only ONE day per week! Not six days, but ONE day per week! https://keller.house.gov/media/in-the-news/usps-has-lost-78-billion-2007-despite-receiving-billions-taxpayers-every-year

Are you wanting your sfx install to just extract files? Or are you also wanting it to add entries to the registry?

Testing this theory out of curiosity. Using my Arctic Fox 2019 profile in Arctic Fox 2021 and in NM27 2021 (tested on i7-4770 @ 3.40 GHz w/ 16 GB RAM in XP x64 SP2). ie, all three of these tests are with the same exact profile as I really don't recall which, if any, about:config changes I made when I was using Arctic Fox 2019. Arctic Fox (December 19, 2019) == 1417.01 1433.34 1440.03 (holy crap! first time I've ran this test and this browser on my i7!) Arctic Fox (November 11, 2021) == 1462.38 1438.28 1458.66 New Moon 27.10.0 (2021-11-12) == 1440.03 1420.79 1438.28 Confirms it. But I don't recall which about:config changes I've made since 2019 "in the name of security" but clearly at the cost of "performance".

Core 2 Quad Q6700 @ 2.66 GHz w/ 2.0 GB RAM on XP x86 SP3 -- ungoogled v11 == 439.74 442.73 ungoogled v12 == 472.67 474.99 ungoogled v13.5 == 463.31 468.59 Arctic Fox == 554.04 555.55 (being CDO [OCD in alphabetical order], I was tempted to screencap the 555.55, felt like winning the Lottery [which I do not support!]) Chromium v49 == 584.83 599.35 Mypal 27.9.4 == 83.92 80.04 NM28 == 66.37 67.20 BNavigator == 64.16 62.66 ps - I think there are config settings that I have set for security purposes which lower Mypal, NM, and BNav results - not sure, just UNGODLY low! ps2 - cannot (will not) run DcBrowser on this machine, it's on a separate wireless and only gets truly "vetted" browsers ever ran on this network.

Ugh! "Not again!" I migrated to 360Chrome because Mozilla-based browsers were simply no longer working for websites that I have to visit (bank account, billpay, etc). And you could not deploy tricks such as faking a User Agent to get those non-working websites to work. These are basically "monopoly" websites. If you want electricity at the house, you only have ONE local electric company. If you want water at the house, you only have ONE local water company. If you want natural gas at the house, you only have ONE local natural gas company. If you want cable at the house, you only have ONE local cable company. (there are DSL options and Dish options, but a direct cable line has its advantages) My local water billpay website, effective within the last two weeks, no longer works in 360Chrome v11 or v12 when it has for the past year! They "redesigned" their website and there are two "flyover" bubbles citing an error message with a javascript function (do not recall them offhand). This "monopoly" water billpay website is also not working in NM27, NM28, Basilisk/Serpent 52, Basilisk/Serpent 55, or BNavigator. I can still log in to that "monopoly" using 360Chrome v13 or v13.5 - so I guess not all hope is lost. This is getting far too frustrating. Also within the last month, my local natural gas company "monopoly" did not renew their contract with a free online billpay service (MyCheckFree.com). I've been paying that "monopoly" for DECADES using MyCheckFree.com. They are forcing a "phone app" for equivalent billpay - I will not be using a "phone app"! So I'm now fully in support of "killing trees". I was doing both of these billpay "monopolies" via PAPERLESS but now have them mailing me paper statement as opposed to using their "redesigned" website or "phone app".

Open Settings -> Shortcuts -- chrome://settings/shortcut Click the F3 listed for "Switch to next tab" and change it to whatever you prefer that isn't already listed as being used for another shortcut.

No prob. I suspect it is related to this -- chrome://media-engagement And I suspect you do not delete cookies and cache on exit. Digging further, thanks.

Thanks. Do you know if it happened after visiting any particular website?

Everything I'm finding shows the larger your graphics card RAM, the more it has to map with physical RAM - for all 32bit operating systems. I'm also showing most NVIDIA GeForce 7300 SE to be 256 MB and you cite 512 MB. For example -- https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-7300-se.c726 That is very likely why you're available RAM is down around 3 instead of 3.5.

Not sure if Hardware Acceleration affects the number that XP reports. I do not use HA, has always caused much more harm than good on my machines.
